Fox Catalog Titles on Blu

[BillWatkins]

Consider these unofficial, but here are the leading write-ins by decade:

30s: Cavalcade (also the leading overall)
40s: My Darling Clementine
50s: Toss up between Love Me Tender and Inferno 3D
60s: The Blue Max

[matrixschmatrix]

My Darling Clementine, if they do it, would easily be the most appealing release of the whole project for me. Though I'll probably pick up The Ghost and Mrs. Muir and Carmen Jones, too.

[onedimension]

Anyone have a list of what was on the original ballot?

[Matt]

They're listed in this press release announcing the campaign.

[Cash Flagg]

I must have voted at least 100 times for Steamboat Round the Bend, but it still finished with something like 9% of the 1930's vote.

[PfR73]

Ditto.

[J M Powell]

I must have voted at least 100 times for Steamboat Round the Bend, but it still finished with something like 9% of the 1930's vote.

I probably only managed 15 votes for Steamboat. So you can all blame the fact we're getting Call of the Wild on my lack of commitment / the fact that I have a life.

[knives]

Call of the Wild isn't a bad movie.

[kingofthejungle]

I must have voted at least 100 times for Steamboat Round the Bend, but it still finished with something like 9% of the 1930's vote.

I voted for repeatedly as well.

It would be nice if Fox would consider gathering some of the better titles from the big "Ford at Fox" box for a couple of Blu-Ray sets that they could sell through Fox Connect (like the Kazan sets).

Excluding choices that should merit an individual release, or acquisition by Criterion (My Darling Clementine ,Young Mr. Lincoln) I would choose something like:

Ford At Fox Vol. 1: (The Iron Horse/Pilgrimage/Doctor Bull/Judge Priest)
Ford At Fox Vol. 2: (Steamboat Round The Bend/Prisoner of Shark Island/Wee Willie Winkie/Drums Along The Mohawk)

[swo17]

Silly me, thinking that my single votes might have any impact.

[Cash Flagg]

It didn't take that much of a commitment on my part, all I had to do was click back and forth between Start Private Browsing and Stop Private Browsing in Firefox.

[gcgiles1dollarbin]

Call of the Wild isn't a bad movie.

Agreed. I think it's quite good, in fact, with a radiant Loretta Young and some lovely frozen wilderness locations apparently filmed in the great state of Washington. I would have preferred it to Jesse James, actually.

[knives]

I rather like both though I suppose Jesse James has the absurd racism to deal with.

Official date for Cavalcade is 8/6/13

[felipe]

Why is it that I feel we got mainly obscure titles to choose from when they had big titles (My darling clementine, The ox-box incident, Carousel) that were not on the pool? Was it a deliberate plan to raise interest for those lesser known films or is it because the bigger titles would be coming to blu-ray anyway?

[ShellOilJunior]

I voted about 30 times for Two for the Road and it didn't put a dent in North for Alaska's lead at all.

That's my take. I also think we'll be seeing all the titles in the poll, providing the earliest titles sell well. The poll has just given Fox its release schedule: the winners will appear first, and if sales figures are good for those, the also-rans will then be released.

[Feego]

Considering how quickly the winners have been scheduled for release, it appears they must have HD transfers ready to go for all of these titles. I wouldn't be surprised, however, to see some of the less popular ones licensed to Twilight Time.

[onedimension]

Thanks for the list- disappointed '..Rock Hunter?' didn't get votes.

[Feego]

To be sure, I voted for Rock Hunter repeatedly, but to no avail. If you're not region-locked, there's always the MoC edition.

[Dylan]

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir - for me - is one of the greatest films ever made, so that is wonderful news. Here's hoping the transfer is stunning (a new feature on Bernard Herrmann's absolutely gorgeous score would be great, too).

[Lowry_Sam]

I'm disappointed that I only came across this the day after voting closed. I'm glad to see The Ghost and Mrs. Muir win, but disappointed that the one I want most of all the titles mentioned (The Prime Of Miss Jean Brodie) not win or even get a mention.

It appears Blood and Sand (1941) will be getting a release on 7/9/13.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone actually like this movie? I find most post-Golden Boy Mamoulian borderline unwatchable.

I've never seen it. In fact, I've only seen two of his films (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Queen Christina).
